A child
Starring at the moon
Praying that the end of his world
Will come soon
He lives in the world
A world of despair
A world full of hate
A world in which no one cares
How is he going
To live his life
Without carrying a gun
Or even a knife
The lives he sees
Taken away
Never to come back
Never to see another day
What hurt him most
Bringing tears to his young eyes
The sound of hearing
His dying mother's cries
She died knowing
The pain in her heart
Caused by a stray bullet
That tore her life apart
Taking away
The man in her life
The man that placed a ring on her finger
To be his dedicated wife
No man left
Only a child
Trying everyday
To make his mother smile
The love we take for granted
We must cherish
For any day
That love can perish
Until he dies
The child will never know why
But he will always remember
His dying mother cries.
A child dying
Of pains of being alone
A stray bullet
And now his mother is gone
Living in a life
A life of despair
He keeps crying
But no one cares
Living in a world
Of hate and greed
Not knowing how
To nuture God's seed
His heart is pounding
His mouth trying to talk
To tell of his pain
Legs trying to walk
People past by
And try to ignore
They hear his cries
But refuse to open the door
The dying mother withone last breath
Clings to her baby
Hoping to save him from death
Suddenly an angel
Appears
Guiding other to the child
Before his life dissappears
Those who stood by
In trials and tribulation
Those who stood by
Without hesitation
Those who stood by
Hearing mother's cry
Those who stood by
Seeing babies dye
Those who turn away
When they saw others hated
Those who turn away
Those who could have stopped what hate created
They never spoke up
When they knew it was wrong
They kept turning away
As time moved alone
More killing, lynching, and bombs
A race , a symbol of the direspected
They failed to realize
We were a race god protected
Marks upon their souls
God will remember thee
On judgement day
Heaven they will never see
God granted us all
To be free
He never created you
To be superior to me
He created us all
To love each other
Created us
As biological sister and brothers
What the flag represent
They will forever debated
They will never own up to
The hate it created
They march under a flag
A symbol of oppression
They march under a flag
Of hateful men aggression
Southern heritage
We will never forget and hear
Every a new south is rising
Every day the old south disappears
The south will rise again
Under a flag of different races
Under one love
Under smiling faces
To be apart
Don't stand by
Remember those days
Of hearing a dying mother's cry
Dying at the hand of hate
Dying at the mess
That the flag has create
